winneganfakeCaught it on NPR this morning, but it looks like Texas lawmakers are looking into making hunting a bit more equal-opportunity. By allowing the blind to hunt. Granted, you'd have to have a sighted partner with you, but you also get to have the use of other gadgets (spotlights, lasers) to cause the animals to freeze up long enough to crack of the thirty or so shots you want to take with that AK-47 of yours.
Of course, I know a rat when I smell it. See, while this could be simply a clever ploy to get Dick Cheney to enjoy the wonderful tourism and hunting opportunities in the Lone Star State, I have a feeling that something far more devious is afoot. This isn't about better opportunities for all, or taking lousy potshots at a buck and blaming it on your quality of vision..... this is about the deadliest of games. The forbidden delicacy. That which must not be named.....
LONG PIG!
That's right people. Long pig. Let's face it- the blind make perfect patsies for this kind of case, as the "he looked like a bear," defense works even better when you can't see a damn thing. I predict that soon there will be back-alley joints in Dallas, Austin, and possibly even the Alamo ready to serve up the "special brisket" to adventurous connoisseurs, all with their own twists upon the delicacy.
As for myself, well, I'm thinking I may have to go sample the barbecue sometime soon. Anyone want to go hunting?
